What's new in the Bertschi Group?

With an evolving market situation and an influx of production pouring in from international sources, Europe's plastics industry is undergoing significant changes. Local production is gradually giving way to imports from other parts of the world, changing the way trade flows throughout Europe. Recognizing the shifts in the plastic market, Bertschi is proactively preparing to accommodate these changes and serve its customer base as effectively and efficiently as possible.

Behavior Based Safety (BBS) is an important aspect of safety work within the Bertschi Group. Accordingly, great importance was also attached to the introduction and implementation of the BBS system in Zhangjiagang, the newly opened Bertschi liquids hub in China. In order to train the team on site, our experienced and certified BBS expert of many years, Evi Jacobs, traveled to China for two weeks in July 2023.

The international Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) initiative has a crucial mission: to prevent the release of plastic granulates into our environment, especially our oceans. This objective requires the active participation of all stakeholders across the plastics supply chain, necessitating preventive actions.

Bertschi Group, a leader in global logistics and chemical distribution, has taken another step towards achieving its goal of a climate-neutral supply chain. Recently, the group has introduced electric trucks within its operations, starting with trucks for Nordic Bulkers and Bertschi Cologne. This pilot project aims to assess the performance of electric trucks in Bertschi’s and Nordic Bulkers' logistics chains and explore the feasibility of scaling up their usage in the coming years. By embracing sustainable solutions like electric trucks and intermodal transports, Bertschi Group is committed to reducing its environmental impact and fostering a greener future.
